When some of the team were walking through the old Royal Naval College Greenwich last Wednesday they spotted filming going on for the new Frankenstein film, starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy

Its amazing how flexible Greenwich can be as a film location – having doubled up as everywhere from Berlin to Lilliput in recent years.
